This immersive two-day event will provide a platform for students to understand the world of Internet of Things(IoT). Within the 48 hours, it will not be presentations but real-world practicals to give interested persons an immersive experience. Come and make use of open source IoT platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Open Data is vital to the growth of IoT. This type of data has usage patterns, location and performance, information which needs to be open to help drive functionality that otherwise wouldn’t be possible. Think of it as “two worlds” of data, with one being sensitive and secure, and the other made open in an innovative manner.

This blog post is a guest post done by the Open Data Day Conservation Team and SwahiliBox Research. The post was authored by Harris Mwashalo and Aly Salim.

During the 2015 global open data day, SwahiliBox members gathered in Mombasa to mark this day. We looked at how open data could help solve thorny issues such as improving education, insecurity, wildlife and heritage conservation. Groups were formed to discuss the topics and looked at various datasets available to the public in the local open data repository.
